“Parkinson's disease, or PD, is a neurodegenerative disorder identified by the death of dopamine-producing neurons in the part of the brain that controls movement. The disease typically manifests later in life and is characterized by tremors and a shuffling gait.”

“A growing body of evidence suggests that mitophagy is compromised in Parkinson's disease and promotes the accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria. Impaired mitophagy likely contributes to the aggregation of misfolded proteins, which in turn impairs mitochondrial homeostasis.”

“Intrinsically disordered proteins are common features in cardiovascular diseases, and damaged, dysfunctional proteins, which can aggregate, or clump together, are strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease.”

“Heat shock proteins have been shown to prevent and slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, slow human muscle atrophy, and are associated with human longevity.”

“Symptoms of the disease did not change or improve significantly for most of those who took part in the high-intensity exercise. Participants in the moderate-intensity exercise group saw their symptoms worsen by 7.5%, while symptoms of those in the control group worsened by 15%.”

“And a growing body of clinical evidence suggests that ketosis also improves other aspects of neurological health, including general cognitive performance, brain trauma, and neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.”

“Common neurodegenerative diseases include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis. Several factors drive neurodegeneration, but oxidative stress likely mediates and enhances the processes involved.”

“Dr. Mattson's rigorous work has advanced scientific understanding of brain aging and identified fundamental aspects of age-related neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.”
